No excuse to shoot unarmed man running away.P> He wasn't unarmed. He took a taser gun from an officer and tried to shoot an officer.

Don’t forget the United States Women’s Soccer team.

WNBA overflow pool.

This is the city that fired its black fire chief for daring to teach about the Bible at his church’s men’s group.

‘How about a black leader telling blacks not to fight with the police?’

that would be a logical thing to do; but in the future blacks will be able to break laws with impunity, and self control will not be high on their priority lists...

‘The taser was discharged, missed (maybe out of range) and not a deadly weapon in any case.’

IMHO, since the guy turned to face the cops and pointed something at them, I find their response understandable, but yes, they should have been aware that a taser is not a lethal weapon...

but in our current climate, no explanations will be accepted; there can only be propitiation by whites, grovelling as fervent as any religious service...

It’s weird.

The Mayor describes a justified shooting, but then fires everyone involved.

“No excuse to shoot unarmed man running away. The taser was discharged, missed (maybe out of range) and not a deadly weapon in any case. Cops shot accidentally or lacked proper training. Court can sort that out.”

Yes, you wait and see what he is pointing at you before you shoot him. Go ahead, I’ll watch.

Do you happen to know what community college he was planning to enroll in, this fall ?/s

The “victim” was 27, I believe he still had another year of secondary school to go.

Im waiting for the transgender, trans race, 8 star police chief. A man pretending to be female, pretending to be black. And wearing 8 stars on their collar because they are oh so important!🤪

“The Mayor describes a justified shooting, but then fires everyone involved.”

From all that I now know I’d say that’s pretty much it in a nutshell.

If I taser you, I can take your firearm. The Taser is the equivalent of a firearm in these scenarios. Plus, it looks like a firearm and you can’t be sure he didn’t have a firearm on him.

What happens if the taser hit the officer? Does the guy keep running or take the officers gun and start shooting? I don’t know?

It's a lethal weapon if it allows the suspect to walk up to the stunned cop and take his gun.
